I'd like to sign up for the pilates course.
'Pilates' is pronounced as in English. Stress 'i-SCRI-ver-mi'.
Use this to enrol in a pilates class programme, as opposed to a single drop-in class. 'Corso' implies a structured series of lessons.
'Iscrivermi al corso' = to enrol in the course. 'Corso' implies a series of organised lessons with a beginning and end. 'Lezione' = single class. The distinction matters: 'una lezione di pilates' vs 'il corso di pilates' (8 or 12 sessions).

Pilates is enormously popular in Italy, especially among women aged 30–60. Many Italian doctors ('medici di base') recommend pilates for back pain and posture issues. Some courses are reimbursable through health insurance ('mutua integrativa') as rehabilitative activity.
